The New Girl (tv program)

Fox will add comedies with Rob Lowe and John Stamos in the fall and bring back "American Idol" for a 15th and final season in January.

The network announced Monday that it will schedule five new series -- two half-hour sitcoms and three hour-long shows -- in the autumn.

Stamos plays a man who learns he is a father and grandfather in "Grandfathered." Lowe portrays an actor famed for a TV lawyer role who joins his brother's real law firm in "The Grinder." "Wonder Years" star Fred Savage is cast as Lowe's brother.
